Thoughts from Dr. Pacatte
The middle school student survey that was administered in the beginning of the school year will be sent out to our students again this spring. The survey is to measure the students' sense of belonging in our schools. The survey is planned to be given to our 6th - 8th grade students on Monday or Tuesday (May 9 or 10). The data we collect through this process will continue to help us identify areas of concern and work with stakeholders (students, staff, and parents) to develop plans for improvement.
If you would like to preview the survey prior to those dates please reach out to Mrs. Lori Rupsch, the Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent at lrupsch@d56.org. She will be able to send you a copy for review.
